welcome Aubergine is West Kirby’s longest established café. Independently run, and owned by the same local family since 2011, we have made the sort of place our friends and family like to spend time; we hope that you will too. Your meal is cooked fresh to order, and during busy periods there may be a wait of up to 30 minutes.
If sat outside please order at the counter. K E Y: V E G E TA RI A N
